South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
Cécile Brünner, the rose, is just about done for this season. Two days of high winds are forecast and they'll probably finish her off. Maybe then she'll get pruned. There's always something going on with Cécile. She's housed the wren's nest, is part of the cottage's windbreak, and climbs up and over the shade house where, despite the "monster who ate everything" frost, she kept the houseplants safe. While she was at it, three ginkgo seedlings arrived in the mail the other day and are in there too, recovering, getting used to their new home ahead of them heading off into the "wild wood" next year.
I picked the last few buds of Cécile on their skinny little stems. They don't make the best cut flowers. But they are pretty enough for a dressing table or vanity for a day or two; then this…
Fortuitously, this little vase and it's posey are roughly the size of the wren's nest, so I know the formula: 42 turns of the focussing rail, front to back. toddkeith533 favoured the notion of a small aperture for close-up photography over stacking. So, taking his advice to enhance my inherent "efficiency", or laziness, I've stopped down to f/11 and reduced the process to just seven exposures — hybridisation, if you like. While I was at it, I turned off the overhead lighting and swapped out the flash I used on the wren's nest for the less powerful 430 EXII. The results? No exposure compensation numbers were harmed, and computer time was far, far less than for however many photos I used at f/4.
What it all amounts to is a pretty little pink thing to insert among the green doom and gloom of a frozen landscape. Even wilted and drying roses are better than that!

This little bee was caught in Utah when i was visiting family. I was hunting for some jumpers and noticed a snap dragon flower moving around wildly. Curious I peeked inside the flower and noticed this little guy stuck between the two pedals. Apparently it was just a bit to big. I cut the flower and put it into a container to take with me on my drive home. I thought it would be the perfect test subject so here it is
(as a side note this is my largest stack yet....)
Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.
The concept of stacking two twisted is also possible for hexagonal twists. This is one molecule.

back in the groove of making 4x4 blocks for my postage stamp quilt. i feel most in my quilting element when i am working with simple squares + bright colors + random scraps, so hooray for this project! now i just need to plow through a million of these so that i can finish that quilt top--i started it in February 2009!
oh, ya, its show off.
Overwhelmed with the overflow. Another weekend of suspense and i'll be at peace or not.
Focus stacked in Element 12 with plug-in.
using two images should have been 3 as mid ground is not sharp. Still its a economic way to get focus tacking in Photoshop Elements. using smart phone to control camera on low tripod. with out having to get on my knees I could adjust position of camera on tripod looking at phone screen.
Stacking of 8 pictures with different focus.

made a couple of different passes at stacking and subtracting dark frames. this one has a long dark subtracted from the merged stack.
Apparently, Buenos Aires has 25 book stores per 100,000 residents - the largest number in the world. On one particular busy boulevard, the City had installed stalls in the median, where book sellers were plying their wares, just in case you wanted to buy a book while crossing the street.
Lots of chimney stacks on the roofs but nowadays many homes do not have coal burning fires! I took this during my walk into Troon, this morning and it was very cold with a strong wind blowing from the sea but you do not see smoke rising from the chimney pots!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Sitting by the George's River today working so I set up the camera with an automatic timer remote. Unfortunately ran out of battery but managed to get 32 x 30 second exposures with a 10 stop and 3 stop screw in filter attached to the lens.
Stacked in Photoshop using Dr Brown's and processed in NIK. I have since tried manually processing this shot and realised that NIK was responsible for the texture in the water. The original file is super SMOOTH so maybe 16 minutes is worth it after all!
Effectively a 16 minute exposure. Not sure I see the benefit in going that long.
The Otto E. Eckert Power Station reflects in the Grand River at night. The reflecting pool here is the impoundment for the dam at the power plant.
